Pet Sitting in Sandston

“Heather was very responsive and communicative. She took great care of our cat, followed all our instructions and is the first pet-sitter he came out for. She was very respectful of our house. We would definitely rebook with Heather again!”

“Nick was great! He took great care of our cats, fish, and Guinea pig. It was wonderful receiving pics of our furry family and he even brought the mail in. I would 100% use his services again.”

“Kaycey did a wonderful job taking care of our two dogs! It was a last minute booking and she responded quickly and was able to get to our house in a timely manner!”

“Elijah is an excellent cat sitter. He’s reliable, great with cats, and communicative. He took excellent care of my two cats, one of which, Finn, has some special medical needs, and the other, Dory, can be skittish. My cats both like Elijah, and even Dory came out for pets from him. Thank you, Elijah!”

Laura B.

“My first experience with Rover and I could not have chosen a better pet sitter! My cat is normally very shy around unfamiliar people- she took to Chynna instantly. The pictures of Luna instantly put me at ease. I will definitely rebook with her next time!!”

“Ash is very responsive and sweet with our elderly pets. It was reassuring knowing that our "little old man" was in good hands while we were out of the country.”

“Tess was very professional and took exceptional care of our pups. I didn’t worry at all while we were away visiting family. I 100% would recommend her. Thank you, Tess!”

Carolyn T.

“Danyelle is AMAZING!!! Took such great care of my boys over a holiday. Gave me daily updates and even put up with some of their eating "quirks", which isn't always easy. But she was super patient with them and gave them all the love they needed while I was gone. I was so super happy and relaxed to know they were in such great and caring hands. Heck, even just the trek to my trash can for litter box cleaning was an extra effort in and it's self. Can't recommend Danyelle enough!”

Mike T.

“Jazmine did a wonderful job taking care of my dog Kodi yesterday. She was punctual and she made sure he had his bathroom breaks, food, and treats. Also, she sent plenty of pictures. I would definitely use her services again. Thanks Jazmine for a job well done!”

Renee M.

“Sidney is great with our puppy and was very accommodating to do a drop-in on short notice. Would recommend her to anyone looking for drop-ins and dog walks!”

Kyle D.

“Holland was a pleasure to work with. My dog can be quite anxious, and Holland was wonderful—carefully following my instructions and showing real empathy and understanding for my dog’s needs.”

About: 🏡 Boarding & Daycare ------------------------- Hi there! I’m Stacey, and I provide the ultimate "home-away-from-home" experience for dogs who deserve (or need) a little extra peace of mind. I’m a Board Certified Behavior Analyst, which is a fancy way of saying I speak "Dog." While most sitters love pups, I’ve spent my career studying the subtle micro-behaviors that others miss. Whether your dog is a high-energy athlete or a shy wallflower, I’m constantly monitoring their body language and energy to ensure they feel safe, confident, and completely at ease. What makes a stay with me different? The "One-Family" Rule: I never "cross-pollinate" families. Your dog(s) will be the only guests in my home. No stress from strange dogs, no preventable play injuries, and no picking up bad habits from "roommates." A Child-Free Sanctuary: My home is a quiet, predictable environment—perfect for dogs who aren't used to (or comfortable with) the unpredictability of kiddos. The 0.3-Acre "Racetrack": My yard is fully fenced and wraps entirely around the house. It’s a literal doggy 500! Pups have 24/7 access to run circles, sunbathe on the deck, or people-watch from the porch. Training Upkeep: Working on something specific? Since I’m a behavior specialist, I love reinforcing the rules you’ve already worked so hard to establish. Your pup won’t come home "un-trained!" Medication & Special Care: With over 10 years of experience caring for my own senior dog, I’m fully comfortable with complex medication schedules. Conveniently located in Fulton/Church Hill, I’m just minutes from the airport and train station. Whether your pup needs a high-energy zoomie session or a shady spot to nap under professional supervision, I’ve got them covered. I can’t wait to meet your best friend! 👟 Premium Walks & Drop-Ins ------------------------- Behavior-Focused Walks: Every walk is structured to support good habits. I focus on positive reinforcement, monitoring stress levels, and maintaining proper leash manners rather than just logging distance. Attentive Drop-In Visits: Perfect for puppies, seniors, or cats. Visits include fresh food and water, structured potty breaks, medication administration, and focused, one-on-one enrichment tailored to your pet's energy level. 🛑 A Note on Safety & Crate Training ------------------------- To provide the highly attentive, single-guest, exclusive environment your dog deserves, I maintain a strict safety protocol. All boarding and daycare guests must be crate-trained (training in progress is absolutely fine) and arrive with their own kennel from home. While my schedule is heavily tailored around my guests, I do step out for short windows (usually under an hour or two) for exercise, appointments, or errands. For their psychological comfort and physical safety in a new environment, dogs must be able to rest peacefully in a crate during these brief absences (initial upset is common and understood). This structure is what allows me to keep my home a calm, premium sanctuary for your pet. 🗓️ Routine & Availability ------------------------------- Because I am self-employed with a flexible schedule, I am around the house most of the time, making this a highly present and attentive environment for your dog. MON, FRI, & WEEKENDS: My schedule is wide open and highly flexible. While I may occasionally step out for short periods (errands, exercise, or appointments), I am primarily base-camped at home. Your dog will have constant companionship and 24/7 yard access while I am here. TUE, WED, & THURS: I have a set, predictable time period where I am away from the house from 12:00 PM to 6:00 PM. Dogs who are comfortable with a standard mid-day nap routine thrive during these blocks. Crate or kennel required for time I am away from the home. 🏡 An Exclusive, Child-Free Sanctuary ------------------------------- One Family Only: Your dog(s) will be the sole guests in my home. This completely eliminates the risks of "cross-family" friction, resource guarding, or accidental play injuries. Predictable & Quiet: My home is completely child-free, making it an ideal, low-stress retreat for senior dogs, anxious pups, or those who prefer a calm environment. 🧠 Professional Behavioral Supervision ------------------------------- Expert Eyes: As a senior behavior specialist, I spot subtle micro-behaviors (shifts in posture or energy) to proactively manage stress and maintain a peaceful environment. Training Upkeep: I seamlessly reinforce your current training rules and routines so your puppy or dog doesn't lose progress while you're away. Medication Experience: With a decade of experience caring for my own senior pup, I am fully competent with complex medication schedules. 🌳 Secure Yard & Routine ------------------------------- The 0.3-Acre "Racetrack": The yard is fully fenced and wraps entirely around the house, creating a safe, continuous circuit for high-energy zoomies. Outdoor Freedom & Routine: On my workdays (Tuesday–Thursday, 12 PM–6 PM), dogs enjoy a predictable mid-day nap routine. Outside of those specific afternoon hours, they have 24/7 indoor-outdoor access to sunbathe on the deck, relax in the shade, or run the racetrack.
